Running in Place

Running in Place is a stunning evocation of Provencal culture and history. An acclaimed novelist and essayist, Nicholas Delbanco provides a vivid portrait of a paradise still pure but not immune to progress. A perfect book for anyone who loves the work of Peter Mayle and Frances Mayes. "As entertaining travel literature, [it] ranks with the richest of the genre."--Diane Manuel, The New York Times Book Review
